York College is fortunate to have dedicated personnel willing to lend assistance during hours other than sched- uled class time. The Prof will offer suggestions, answer questions, and provide the student with information pertaining to his class. The office hours tend to take a student into a more relaxed situation, where he (the student) can confer with the professor on a one-to-one basis. Pool The York College pool is located on the lower level of the gymnasium complex. Swimming enthusiasts can find the pool open from 7-9 PM during the week and from 2-4 PM on the week- ends. Faculty members have private use of the pool from 12-1 PM daily. Those students who choose to elect swimming as a class, find it as a refreshing change, especially at 8:30 in the morn- ing. The ultimate questions, however, does exist — Can Coach Massa swim? — Do as I say, not as I do! President This year Dr. Robert V. losue became the sec- ond president of York College of Pennsylvania. Besides assuming the numerous duties involved with presiding over the college. Dr. losue added his own finishing touches to his occupation. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings this year. Dr. losue arrived on campus, doffed his suitcoat and got to work — as a teacher of finite mathematics. The new College president, whose ten years of higher education culminated with a Ph.D. in mathematics, taught the course to stay in touch with the students and the classroom situation on a teaching level. Pub The Dutchman ' s Pub, on the lower level of the Student Center, is the commuter ' s cafeteria. The lines between 12 noon and 1 PM far exceed the havoc of finding a parking place in the morning. By the time you finally get served you realize that class started ten minutes ago. Aside from iood, the Pub offers a chance for students to pick up two courses not mentioned in the cata- logue — Card Playing 101 and Music Apprecia- tion 345 (alias Slug the Jukebox). In all this mess, students still have the illusion that the Pub is the place to conquer that last minute studying.

Q Quizzes How docs it sound to have a math quiz once a week, every week, every semester for what seems to be the rest of your life? Square that and divide by two and you ' ll have the number of English quizzes in a semester. Quiz makes the whole thing sound trivial, until it shows up in your final average. They don ' t give quizzes in playing pinball do they.- R Registration Prior to the beginning of each semester, stu- dents become involved in the process of registra- tion. The process consists of a series of stations winding through the hallowed corridors of York Hall. Upon completion of the 50 minute obsta- cle course, a student may report to the scheduling office to have his class cards checked. The game is over and the only thing left for the player to do is live up the last few days until classes start. Rock Directly outside the Pub stands a green (and sometimes red) rock, affectionately named Old Spart. Tradition has it, that each year upon graduation, senior students sign their name to the rock in white letters. Therefore every year the rock gets a new coat of paint. One could say that the rock is the only thing that Tyler Run hasn ' t washed away. ROTC In wh.it other class can -ou spend ()ur week- ends acati()ning m the woods or )ur carl morning hours running up Reservoir Hill. ROTC IS offered at ' ork College as a -4. .x or 2 year program. This ear labs were offered in Orienteering and Survi -.il. The Orienteering phase of the program consists of a map, a com- pass, and fluorescent pink lx)ttles. The Survi ' al end in ' ()l ' cs ' ou, mountains, a poncho, a sleep- ing bag. and a lot of luck. Fort lndiantov n Crap was the highlight this year, when both classes spent two da s learning how to shoot M-16 s and how to rapell from 2 and 5 foot towers. This year the catlets ( )rganized a drill team which holds weekh ' practices to prepare for their pres- entation at the next Dining Out. Like any other college organization, ROTC isn ' t all work — it ' s a lot of fun. It provides both a challenge and a sense of accomplishment to those involved. Army ROTC— I tlid it '
